Cruise Control: Adjustments


BEAD CHAIN, ADJUST
1. Adjust bead chain to obtain 1/16 -- 1/4 inch (1980---81) or 1/16 --- 1/8 inch (1982---87) actuator arm free travel with engine at hot idle. Make this adjustment to remove as much slack as possible from the bead chain without preventing carburetor from returning to idle. On models equipped with a solenoid anti-diesel valve, this adjustment must be performed with ignition switch in the Off position.
2. Cut off chain in excess of 4 beads.

1. Slide vacuum dump valve forward in retaining clip. With valve plunger contacting brake pedal adapter and pedal in released position until 1/8 inch or less of white plunger is exposed.
